Naomi Osaka will look to reach the semifinals of the Miami Open for the first time in her career when she squares off against ninth seed and home favorite Danielle Collins on Tuesday.

The former World No. 1 has blown hot and cold this season. She reached the last four at the Melbourne Summer Set 1 in January after which she suffered early exits at the Australian Open and Indian Wells. But at the Miami Open, she has rediscovered the form that carried her to four Grand Slam titles.

Naomi Osaka hasn't dropped a set in three matches so far, posting dominant wins over Astra Sharma, 13th seed Angelique Kerber and Alison Riske. She received a walkover from Karolina Muchova in the third round.

That said, Osaka will face her sternest test of the fortnight against the in-form Danielle Collins in the quarterfinals.


Where is Naomi Osaka playing?

Osaka is playing at the 2022 Miami Open in Florida, USA. It is the third WTA 1000 event of the year and is considered one of the most prestigious tournaments on the calendar.

The Japanese produced her best-ever performance in Miami last year when she reached the quarterfinals. Having made the last eight again, Osaka will be keen to improve her record at this tournament.

Osaka's opponent, Danielle Collins, has been playing the best tennis of her life for the past few months. The 28-year-old is currently the highest-ranked American player at No. 11, one spot shy of her career-best ranking of 10.

The Florida-born player first burst into the spotlight with her scintillating run to the semifinals of the 2019 Australian Open. Collins backed it up with a quarter-final finish at Roland Garros the very next year.

Having had to deal with numerous health issues throughout her career, the two-time NCAA champion took some time to build consistency. Collins established herself in the top tier of women's tennis in the second half of last year when she won back-to-back titles at Palermo and San Jose.

After a quarter-final run in Chicago and a semi-final finish in Linz to end the season, the American started 2022 in thunderous fashion by reaching her maiden Major final in Australia.

Unfortunately, injuries and illnesses once again reared their ugly heads to stall her progress. After a first-round retirement in Dubai, Collins took some time off before returning to action at the Miami Open, her home tournament. She has fond memories of the competition, having reached the semifinals in 2018 as a qualifier.

Collins struggled in her first match this year, needing three sets to see off Anna Bondar. But since then, the ninth seed has looked unflappable, disposing of Vera Zvonareva and eighth seed Ons Jabeur with consummate ease.

Collins will look to continue the momentum against Osaka in what should be a blockbuster match.
